Question

Wow! Talk about in the tank for Obama?!

Answer 1

Much of the "liberal media" content today, especially on the web, is conjurred up by foreigners. Such foreigners are rather slow to distinguish truth and facts from propaganda and thus are rather like sheep and need to be herded in one direction or another. Such lack of temperance can leave one with a feling of malaise. However this is an extraordinary situation. Sarah Palin is an extraordinary product of the people whose stamina and common-sense, hands-on attitude are above reproach.

The liberal media are just now realizing Obama soiled himself with both Biden and the Clinton sleaze team and are aghast that the true change of leadership of America lies in McCain and Sarah Palin, hence the media's stuttering on the subject.

Answer 2

Well, when someone lies, exaggerates and imbellishes they should be called out on it.

Why do so many partisan loyalists get upset when someone points out lies their party spews?

Do you also tell your children its ok to lie?  Why do we seemingly expect less from our elected officials than we do our own children?

Answer 3

Yeah I know.  It is pretty unbelievable and yahoo isn't even trying to hide it anymore.  

I wonder why they didn't do this for Obama's speech and point out the flaws in it...like he said that John McCain believes that middle class is about 5 million when clearly, if you heard John McCain's comment, he was joking and even said that the quote would be distorted.  Or the whole "doesn't know how many houses he owns bit."  They didn't even call him out when he said that McCain wouldn't even follow Bin Laden to the cave he lives in-- where is his source?

Palin's speech was great and right on and I guess that is too much for liberal media to handle.

Yahoo News is starting to become like the New York Times...a joke.

Answer 4

I sincerely hope so. Full frontal attack mode is going to be the only way to win against the sneaky underhanded lying Republicans.

Bring it on, bring it on.

We will attack, and we will win.

Are you suggesting we roll over to your usual lies and slander?

Answer 5

I don't get your point.  How is stating the truth either an attack or damage control?

Answer 6

  You should be embarrassed that she lied but instead you are blaming everyone else.  Just like a republican when the truth comes out you blame the media for telling the truth.  Just watch republican owned fox news and you can be happy again because they will lie to you.

Answer 7

Both. There will be no limit to their attack of Palin/defense of Obama.

She threatens the "One's" change of changing the world. She has to be stopped.

Answer 8

Good journalism, which Sarah should know since she has a degree in it, reports the truth which can be confirmed by other sources.  The AP article you cite is factually accurate.  Yes, it goes against everything that Sarah has said publicly, she is a liar.  If you research her record on your own you will find the truth.

"Bridge to Nowhere

In 2006, Ketchikan's Gravina Island Bridge, better known outside the state as the "Bridge to Nowhere", became an issue in the gubernatorial campaign. Palin initially expressed support for the bridge and ran on a "build-the-bridge" platform, arguing that it was essential for local prosperity.[78] After the bridge became a political issue Congress replaced the earmark for the bridge with an infrastructure grant to Alaska to use at its discretion; Palin's subsequent policy was to continue construction on the road originally intended to link to the bridge while exploring less-expensive transportation between Ketchikan and Gravina Island.[79][80][81]

Palin made national news when she stopped work on the bridge. Reuters said the move was responsible for "earning her admirers from earmark critics and budget hawks from around the nation. The move also thrust her into the spotlight as a reform-minded newcomer." In an article titled, "Bridge leads McCain to running mate Palin", the Associated Press said canceling the bridge was "the first identifiable link connecting Palin and McCain," soon followed by "whispers of Palin being an ideal GOP running mate".[82][83]

In 2008, when introduced as McCain's running mate, Palin told the crowd, "I told Congress, thanks but no thanks on that bridge to nowhere" — a line that garnered big applause but upset political leaders in Ketchikan. Palin's campaign coordinator in the city, Republican Mike Elerding, remarked, "She said 'thanks but no thanks,' but they kept the money." Democratic Mayor Bob Weinstein also criticized Palin for "using the very term 'bridge to nowhere' that she said was insulting."[79]"

Answer 9

YES!! I think liberal media is in full attack mode!!  It's clear that the liberal media are frightened of Sarah Palin.   As a woman in the white house, she represents EVERYTHING that the liberals have been fighting against for years.  

Answer 10

It is the media's job to report the truth.  Can you find any inaccuracies in the story?  No you can't. They critique the DNC speeches the same way.

Answer 11

Both-with them the two are synonymous.  The best defense is a good offense.

Answer 12

how does reporting the truth, make the media Liberal.

so, by your definition, all media outlets that report lies are Conservative Media....
